Chapter 1004: Chapter 104 Gathering 1

"I heard." Yang Xiaoxi answered with a bit of guilt.

"I heard, and yet you still went to eat first?" Cheng Feiyang was somewhat angry. In order to take her out for dinner, he even changed his clothes and checked himself in the mirror repeatedly. When he arrived, he found she was not at home. He thought she had something important to deal with, only to discover she had gone out to eat, even after hearing his message.

Yang Xiaoxi was already feeling apologetic, but seeing Cheng Feiyang act so righteously indignant made her upset. Who did Cheng Feiyang think he was to her?

She hadn’t agreed to go to dinner with him, so why should he get angry at her?

With this thought, she snorted and angrily said, "What’s wrong with going out for dinner? You’re not a child, can’t you eat by yourself? Must someone accompany you? I’m not obligated to dine with you."

Really, was it such a big deal that she hadn’t accompanied him to eat?

If he had spoken nicely, she might have gone with him and simply watched him eat, at most. But he just had to come over and confront her like this.

"Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to?" Cheng Feiyang’s face was so twisted with anger it looked like he might get cramps.

"What do you mean by really not understanding or pretending not to?"

Yang Xiaoxi was confused.

The more Cheng Feiyang thought about it, the angrier he became. He glared at her, snorted coldly, and turned to walk away.

Yang Xiaoxi felt like she had been unjustly scolded for no good reason and was also fuming.

This guy, taking advantage of Mianmian not being at home to pick on her, thought he genuinely wanted to take her out to eat.

On the other hand, Shen Mianmian, dressed in a gown prepared by Fu Hua, caused quite a stir when she showed up at the party. Over the years, aside from Cheng Xining, Fu Hua had never taken any other girl to attend social gatherings.

Now that they saw Fu Hua with Shen Mianmian, who was even prettier than Cheng Xining, speculation naturally arose about Shen Mianmian’s identity. Especially since He Nan’s business was booming and poised to take the He Family to new heights, everyone was even more complimentary and respectful towards Fu Hua.

Those who were more acquainted with Fu Hua and had greeted him on arrival immediately inquired about Shen Mianmian’s identity, "This lady looks unfamiliar; I don’t think I’ve seen her before."

Many had sent their children overseas for studies, and not recognizing those who had returned was quite normal. Plus, Shen Mianmian was indeed beautiful and had an excellent demeanor. Assuming she was a young mistress who had just come back from studying abroad didn’t raise any doubts, so everyone guessed whether Shen Mianmian could be a wealthy heiress who had returned from overseas.

Fu Hua smiled and said, "She is my distant relative Shen Mianmian. She’s been studying and was too busy with her academics to come out much. Now that she has been admitted to Beijing University, she has more time, so I’ve brought her to meet more friends."

Hearing that Shen Mianmian was at Beijing University, the people around immediately started showering her with praise.

Not far away, as Cheng Xining chatted with friends, she overheard this conversation and her expression subtly changed. A few girls nearby who heard also began discussing Shen Mianmian.

"That young woman is really pretty, and she was brought over by Mrs. Fu; could she be He Nan’s fiancée?"

"How could that be?" one girl, who knew a bit about the relationships between the Ruan and He families, replied, "He Nan’s fiancée will certainly be Xining! Xining and He Nan have grown up together as childhood sweethearts, and their families will definitely form a marriage alliance."

The other girls turned towards Cheng Xining, "Oh right! We almost forgot about that. Xining, you have a good relationship with Mrs. Fu, you must know Miss Shen, right? What’s her relationship with Mrs. Fu?"
